"Indeed, the readiness to forgive is a litmus test of our spiritual status; when we forgive from the heart, we provide evidence that we actually are sons and daughters of the Most High (Luke 6:35)."

"Our good are a result of out acceptance by God, not a means to acceptance. They are our response to His love, not a means of securing it."

"True faithfulness comes not from pragmatism but from principle. It is the forming of decisions in the quiet place, without all of life's fanfare distracting us. It is obeying despite the consequences. It is being so resolved to be a man or woman of God that when the pressure to sin is greatest or when everything comes crashing down on us, we know how to respond."

"Unpalatable though it sounds, we may see our attitudes and reactions reflected in Jonah's. We may go where we're told to go, we may say what we're told to say, we may externally conform to all that God has called us to do ... and yet, at the very core of our lives, we may not really be in harmony with how His plan is unfolding."

"Jonah felt [Nineveh] was deserving of God's judgment. And he was right! But thankfully, God's ways of dealing with nations and cities and individuals are not our ways. God's desire is to show mercy, and not to bring judgment."

"Nothing you or I have or do is sufficient to pay our way through death and into eternal life....The danger of wealth is that is makes us proud and self-reliant, and we forget that God and God alone is the one who saves."

"Humility and consistency: these two are marks of the mature Christian life, which knows that by grace it has reached this far, and by grace it will press on to reach home."

“Faith in practice meant believing what God has said, taking Him at His word, and then regulating their lives accordingly…. Their faith was an assured conviction that what God had promised would indeed come to fruition.”
